I'm the Vice President of Sewing Club, an extracurricular activity at my school started two years ago, run by one of the Consumer Science teachers. Sewing Club is also a charity organziation. Every week, the members of Sewing Club use their artistic talents to create small projects that are then donated to local children's hospitals, mostly to the neo-natal unit. These projects can include teddy bears, snake pillows, and small quilts. Club members are also able to take home certain projects to finish them, which is often done.
